Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 203 At River Valley.

For the past few days, Valeria had not gone to the law office, nor was she in the mood to go out.

The door was pushed open. It was Ella who had picked up Alex and returned home. She saw Valeria sitting on the sofa in the living room in a daze.

Ella said to Alex. "Alex, go play with your toys first. Auntie will cand play with you later." "Okay!" Then Alex obediently ran to play with his toys to make room for Ella and Valeria to chat.

Ella put down her bag and sat down on the sofa. She called out to her, "Valeria?" Valeria did not react. She seemed to be immersed in her own world, thinking about something "Valeria!" Ella spoke again.

"What?" Valeria finally cback to her senses. She looked at Ella beside her and asked with a smile, "When did you back? Why didn't I hear the door open? By the way, where's Alex cElla shook her head helplessly. "You were too engrossed in your thoughts. Alex went to play with his toys. Are you alright? I saw that you were distracted for the past two days. Did something happen?" Valeria said in an extremely calm tone. "Hackett's grandfather rolled down the stairs and passed away." "How could this happen?! Oh my god. Mr. James must be in a bad mood these days." One could imagine how uncomfortable it was for a proud man ke Hackett to encounter such a thing, but he would be unwilling to show his vulnerability.

Valeria revealed a bitter smile. "And I was the first to discover Barron rolling down the stairs." Ella suddenly widened her eyes. After a while, she asked tentatively, "So, did Mr. James begin to suspect that you were the one who pushed his grandfather down the stairs?" She shook her head. "He didn't, but others did. I think he must also have sdoubts in his heart. It's just that he's forcing himself to believe me... Because all the signs show that Grandpa's death is related to me, it's too much of a coincidence. Now that I think back to that day, even 1 feel a little suspicious..." Before she could finish, Ella grabbed her hand. "Valeria! Don't let your imagination run wild. How could you do such a thing? You're a lawyer yourself. You know very well what the sentence for intentional homicide is. You won't be that stupid. Besides, didn't you always say that Barron was the one who doted on you the most when you were with the James family? 1 don't believe you would do that to him." Valeria was stunned. She looked at Ella in front of her and said, "Why do you trustso much? Maybe I committed a crine out of impulse. When people are impulsive, they can do anything. Besides, at that time, I thought that Alex was hidden by Grandpa." "That won't happen, You're not that kind of person. I don't think you can do that kind of thing." Ella said firmly.

Valeria couldn't help but smile. There were tears in her eyes.

It was good to have someone trust her so unconditionally.

1/3 20:45 Fri, Nov 15 Chapter 203 However, when she recalled the day at the funeral when Mandy pointed at her nose and scolded her as a jinx and Ernest said that she was a murderer, she felt really uncomfortable. Even though she was a lawyer, she felt that she could not defend herself After all, she also felt that Barron's death was a little strange. Why did he roll down the stairs all of a sudden....

At the club.

"Why did my cousin invitehere? Is he here to apologize to me? That'll be hilarious. He knows that our family has the most shares now, so he's afraid and wants to bow down to us?" John Dove sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and looked at the bodyguards beside him with a goofing face. Hackett's bodyguards led him here in advance and waited at the side. They had been listening to this prodigal man talking to himself for half an hour while feeling annoyed Seeing that the bodyguards were ignoring him, John shouted, "Tm talking to you. Are you deaf? What did Hackett hire you guys for? All of you are like dead people. How boring" Suddenly! VIP room's foor was pushed open and Hackett walked in. As he was walking, he said, "You despise my bodyguards for being boring. Do you want to personally be one of my bodyguards?" As he spoke, he unbuttoned his suit and sat on the sofa.

Tyler followed behind and stood at the side. He replaced the bodyguard from before and gave the bodyguard a look. The bodyguard nodded and left after closing the VIP room's door. Hackett had a strong him.

innate powerful aura. No one could intimidate him because of that. They could only be crushed by John subconsciously sat up straight and uncrossed his legs.

Ever since he was young, he had been afraid of his cousin. His grandfather had always favored his cousin, making him feel abandoned and pityed. Now that his grandfather had passed away and his mother had obtained all the shares of his grandfather, he could finally raise his head and act tough in front of Hackett. At the thought of this, John felt that there was nothing to be afraid of now.

He leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs, looking like he was not afraid of anything in the world. "Cousin, I could be your bodyguard, but I'm afraid you can't afford it. After all, all of Grandpa's shares were transferred to my mom now.

Haha Hackett narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the idiotic prodigal man. He spoke in a deep voice, "Do you think I don't know how your mother obtained the shares? You guys probably have a death wish since you decided to alter the will illegally,"

The smile on John's face immediately froze. He looked at Hacket in a panic. "You, you. What nonsense are you talking about? No one had altered the will! Cousin, don't franyone bow, Grandpa personally set the will. Our lawyer Joey Ward can testify. Everything is clearly stated in legal documents. Are you trying to deny it?" Hackett let out a disdainful grunt. He took out a cigarette and held it between his lips. He lit it with a lighter.

atell "Not only do I want to deny it, but I also want to snatch back everything that belongs to me. I invited you here today to ask you to go back and your mother not to take what she shouldn't take and give everything back right away. If so, I will not hold any grudges for the sake of her status as my aunt. However if you still choose to go against me, don't blme for being ruthless 2/3 20:45 Fri, Nov 15 Chapter 203 With that, Hackett stubbed qut his cigarette in the ashtray and left.

Before John could react, Hackett was gone with just his tall figure barely visible. John continued to play dumb, "Cousin, what do t do you mean? Why don't understand what you mean? What do you mean don't take what you shouldn't take? Are you talking about the shares? Grandpa wanted to give them to us. We didn't force it. Don't talk nonsense..." John still wanted to argue with his domineering cousin but Hackett was long gone. All that was left was the cold sound of the door closing.

In the hallway.

Hackett walked expressionlessly to another private room. The next person he wanted to meet was the second- largest shareholder on the board of directors, Clayton Maddox Tyler followed behind him and asked in confusion, "Mr. James, don't understand why you want to meet Mr. Maddox. He has never cared much about the board of directors and only cares about the sale results." SEND GIFT
